good post

The TED video was a very nice find.

They cost the same? I think non-Canadian citizens pay some sort of non-citizen fee or something like that, no? BTW, how much time do you get to spend outdoors, away from the desk?

Okay. That is just weird. Ppl in real life think I am Canadian. I'm American. I've never been to Canada, nor do I have any Canadian friends. It's just weird that you said that. Maybe it's my maple syrup fetish? LOL. I am looking into several career options at the moment. One of them includes going to graduate school...

Do they have teaching/research fellowships there, similar to the US, where you get tuition paid for and receive a stipend?

How long do you typically stay in one place to do the early stage recon? Did you get your BS in the US?

So, you have BS and MS in geology?

Do you get to have a say regarding the extent to which such places are destroyed? I mean some companies employ rape and pillage tactics while others at least do so with a sense of responsibility or care...

Not to sound judgmental, but does it bother you to be digging up a pristine area such as that? I myself had considered pursuing geology, but I was concerned that most, if not all of the jobs would involve fucking up the environment. I didn't want to have a personal hand in that. But I do love geology and the environment...

I see. I seem to have a similar mindset. I can't really understand the selfish individualism that Americans widely embrace. It's called, 'society' for a reason. What are you doing at your isolated camp in the mountains, and are you hiring? Sounds like a dream job...

Thanks, I'm glad you agree. I had a hard time articulating it myself...

Where in Canada, and why do you say better?
